All that is great, but if they have failed to remove or reduce suction I'll be highly disappointed.

Now that is awesome to hear saw in the other thread but its CRAZY to think this is actually possible now. Go 2K for making that happen!

People who will be updating the visual for the NBA today updates will be sick and tired of Gilbert Arenas if he does what he did last year. Changed sneakers like every other game.

Wow, it only took one post for someone to pull the old "That info is nice, but if (insert gameplay concern here) isn't fixed, it won't matter".

Anyways, these NBA Today additions sound interesting, if they're updated regularly. I wonder if the player models being dynamic now means they'll update hairstyles and things of that nature over the course of the season. I know that's a big deal for many around here!

LOL 2K knows there won't be an NBA season this year so they trolling us.

I think it does update hair, and will it still work even if there is a lockout?
